Hey guys,
British Universities Skydiving (BUS) is organising a skydiving 'Freshers' event for the weekend of 13th and 14th of November. It will be at Hilbaldstow (4 to 5 hr drive) and there will be tons of other universities and skydivers, looking to skydive and party. It is open to anyone in the club of course.
Unfortunately this year due to a lack of committee members, it is very likely that we will not be able to take you there, however, we would still like to know how many of you would be interested in going if it does go ahead. If you are, please fill in the form below:
